POLITICAJJi
POLITICAL
WANT TO HEAR
REAL ARGUMENT
AGAINST MAYOR
MACHINECOMMITTEETHINKING
OF OFFERING PRIZE
ANYTHING TO SHOW WHY GEORGE
ALEXANDER SHOULD LOSE
No Honest Reasons for Defeat Have
Been Unearthed So Far by
Friends of Southern
Pacific Ring
Now that the Republican city cen
tral committee has come into a little
money it is figuring on offering some
thing of a reward for a genuine argu
ment against Mayor Alexander. Until
a near-argument can be found the
prospective speakers are not able to
say anything that is likely to make
votes.
The only pleas yet put up against
Mayor Alexander are that he has held
office- that he is a plain man; that
the other side is out of power and that
he was properly attired when he rode
with President Taft. No real argu
ment that will bear analysis or that Is
calculated to appeal to any person
■with brains enough to think has so
far been made.
If Mr. Alexander were a machine
Republican and had grown wealthy
in the years he held office he would
now be lauded by the Southern Pa
cific political bureau. But because he
has held office as a Republican who
has fought for the people generally
and not for special interests, and be
cause he has the plain, homely char
acteristics that are so frequently re
ferred to In connection with Abraham
Lincoln, the machine organization does
not want Mayor Alexander.
Know He's Made Good
The machine has awakened to the
fact that Mayor Alexander has made
good in the most emphatic fashion
and that their ridicule will not refute
this. All the votes that could be mus
tered against the mayor in the re
call election through prejudice were
brought out at that time, and aside
from those lost through the Socialist
defection, a considerable number then
against him are now found openly in
favor of Mayor Alexander because of
his splendid record.
Although the machine will not say
80 precinct reports have been so dis
couraging at its headquarters that the
apparent certainty of Mayor Alexan
der's re-election has caused a most
disconcerting restlessness among the
Southern Pacific candidates. This has
led to much talk of "trading." which
the machine committee could not keep
quiet and which almost disorganized
the "organization" last week.
Some of the leaders have frankly
turned to the county fißht, realizing
that "the Good Government people
have too big a bulge to overcome.
Others have decided to keep quiet, be
lieving that a good storm shelter is
the best thing until they sec what kind
of a wreck the election will make of
the machine.
Afraid of "Getting in Bad"
Certain politicians are suffering from
bad qualms, for they do not want to
"get in bad" for the state campaign,
and yet do not care to waste their ef
forts in fighting against the Good Gov
ernment organization this year.
The most encouraging feature of the
campaign to the men most responsible
for the success of the Good Govern
ment organization is the number of
"stalwart Republicans" who are hght
lne for decent municipal rule. Many
old-timers are in the Good Govern
ment precinct clubs and refuse abso
lutely to have anything to do with
the machine program—and this class
Is gaining new recruits every day.
It naturally follows that a great
many Republicans who have always
been known as "organization" men are
hardly willing to come out flat-footed
at once, while heartily discountenanc
ing the machine's attempt to prostitute
the city charter. Some of these have
taken half-way ground by coming out
for O X Farish or Dr. Jones, while
others' are not outwardly active, but
will not vote for either of the machine
candidates, Smith or Mushet.
A Good Government meeting will be
held Thursday evening at Page's hall,
corner of Vernon and Compton ave
nues Professor Lorin A. Handley and
Clarence M. Taggart will be the speak-
Rlchmond Plant and Marshall Stlm-
Bor. will he speakers at a Good Gov
ernment meeting at Odd Fellows' hall,
El Molino and Pico streets, October 26.
H. W. Reed will preside.
The sentiment against the rump
convention's prostitution of the oity
charter is so overwhelming in High
land Park that a machine candidate
for the council who placarded I
phone poles in that Bection had his
placards specially printed with all ref
erences to the "straight Republican
party indorsement" left off. Instead
he announi es that he has "received
the highest indorsements," ■which is
considered a very different matter in
Highland Park.
At the elections this year the city
precincts at San Pedro and Wilming
ton will be designated "San Pedro Nos.
1, 2 and 3" and "Wilmington No. 1,"
just as was the case before consolida
tion.
A prominent resident of the new
■west end district which will be an
nexed to the city by today's special
election has a question which he will
put to all candidates who approach
him hereafter: "Did you vote at all at
the annexation election October 19?"
He is willing to bet that ho will find
a number of disqualifications.
The "Mushet mayoralty organiza
tion" will meet this afternoon to worry
over th<- constant loss of Mushet votes
and transact other less important
business. Across the street the may
oralty headquarter! of Dr. J. \V. Jones
will be closed all day except in the
int. rest of the annexation election, for
which Dr. Jones has insisted his sup
porters must get out and work.
The following statement from Charle3
L. Wilde, deputy city clerk, is intend
ed for the benefit of candidates who
realize they have no chance, meaning
BO insult to the "straight Republican
party ticket":
"I'nder the provisions of the city
charter the rlerk must, not less than
ten days prior to the primary election,
certify the list of candidate* in nom
ination. The clerk will certify the list
as required Thursday, October 21, at 5
p. m., up to which time any of the
candidates in nomination may with
draw, but not after the certificate is
issued."
"The Republican rump convention
actually conferred a benefit on
people of Log Angeles," gays Marshall
Stimson, first vice president of the
Good Government organization. "'
alder that it picked >>ut a certain
group of men and certified them so j
that it is plain exactly who is behind
them and who is going to run them if
elected. Now if we don't know enough
to keep away from those men the peo
pie of Los Angeles are not quite
wise as I think they are."
The political sagacity of Constable
Benny Cohn has been missing around
Republican headquarters recently be- i
cause he has been sick in bed. He re
turned to work yesterday noon anil
will be stirring up activity around
"organization" headquarters again this
week.
PENSION LISTS LOSE
OVER 51,000 NAMES
DEATH'S INVASION CAUSES
LOSS OF 48-312
Nearly One Million Persons Given
Bounty by Government, More Than
One.half of Whom Were
In Civil War
WASHINGTON, Oct. IS.—Death's
Invasion of the fast thinning ranks of j
the war veterans caused 48,312 namus '
to be dropped from the pension rolls I
last year. Of this number 32.531 were
survivors of the Civil War.
The total loss to the pension roll from
all causes was 51,581.
In striking contrast to these figures,
comprised in the annual report of Ves
pasian Warner, commissioner of pen
sions, is the statement that the gov
ernment paid out in pensions in the
fiscal year ending June 30, 1909, 1161,
-530.703, the largest amount ever dis
bursed for this purpose in one year.
Summarized the report shows:
Number of pensioners at the begin
ning of the year, 951,687; number of
now pensioners added to the roll, 46,
--0S8; pensioners on roll at close of the
year, 946,194, a net decrease of 5493.
Survivors of the Civil War on the
roll now number 593,061.
BUTTERFLY BOOK SECURED
BY THE PUBLIC LIBRARY
Denton's Beautifully Engraved Edition
Is Purchased for Benefit of
Los Angeles Citizens
The public library has just secured.
at a small price, the $150 butterfly book
by the world's foremost authoi
Sherman F. Denton. This is said to be
the most beautiful hand work ever
published. It is in two volumes, per
fectly printed and with more than 400
illustrations in the text of all the moths
and butterflies of the United States,
east of the Rocky mountains.
The ordinary edition is a text-book
throughout the world. But this is the
special limited edition in which there
are added fifty-six actual transfers o£
butterflies from life to paper. That is,
the wings of the butterfly or moth are
actually mounted on the plate, The
body could not be thus treated with
out "squashing," so It is photographed,
engraved, printed in and colored by
hand. Hut these transferred plates
are without doubt the most extra
ordinary hand work ever done in the
illustrations of a book of nature.
Mr. Denton has long been known as
the foremost authority in America on
butterflies and the proper o*Hecting
and preserving of thi m. He is the in

BALLOON RECORD
CLAIMED BY LOWE
PASADENA SCIENTIST HARKS
BACK TO OLD TIMES
MADE 700 MILES IN NINE HOURS
IN APRIL, 1861
Gives an Account of Flight That Puts
the Trip of Lambert and
Yon Puhl In the
Shade
[By Associated Press.]
UNION, S. C, Oct. IS.—The claim
that H. B. Lambert and S. Louis yon
Puhl, members of the Aero club of St.
Louis established new world's records
tor long distance and speed in aero
nautics, when, aft< r having ascended in
their balloon In St. Louis on Friday
morning ot la.-*! week, they landed near
Charleston, B. C, on Saturday morning
k, having made an average
i of forty-four miles an hour, i 3
challenged by parties who have rec
ords showing thai a higher rfpeed waa
attained in a balloon voyage made
forty-eight years ago.
The aeronautic teal referred to was
that of Prof. T. B, C. Lowe, head of
Lowe observatory, near Pasadena,
Cal., who on April 20, 1861, ascended In
illoon at Cincinnati at 4 o'clock
a. m., and l o'clock p. m. of the same
day landed at Pea Ridge in thin
county. Although in the air only nine
hours. Prof. Lowe covered an air line
distance of JOO miles, not including
several hundred miles additional
caused by his balloon being caught in
the air currents and carried over Vir
ginia, thence to the South Carolina
seacoast before reaching his landing
place near here.
Prof. Lowe's balloon voyage was not
only eventful because it set such a
pace in aeronautics for distance trav
eled per hour, but because being at
the outbreak of the Civil war, when
sectional feeling was at Its high pitch,
he was regarded by some persons as
being- the "Yankee Spy," and but for
the action of cooler heads, might have
met with bodily injury.
Prof. Lowe gave an account of his
flight forty-eight yean nun at his
home In Pasadena last night. "I do
not know how far Mr. Lambert wont
in his flight, but I believe mine is the
record tor time and distance up to
date. I made the ascension under the
ices of the Smithsonian Institution
and the Franklin institute nf Philadel
phia. For days I had bei n awaiting
dispatch** from Washington re*.
ins weather condition*.
"Thi- word cam* early In the morn
ing, whi-n I whs It a formal party.
Without having time to change my
evening clothes I had the balloon pre
pared and left at 4 o'clock in the
morning. On the flight I passed be
tween the Allegheny and Blue Ridge
ranges of mountains, probably adding
several hundred miles to the actual
distance traveled."
The flight made by Prof. Lowe was
made eight days after Gen. Beaure
gard's troops fired on Fort Sumter
and started the Civil war.

PROTOTYPE OF
LINCOLN DEAD
MAN WHO RESEMBLED GREAT
EMANCIPATOR DIES
PASSES AWAY UNDER CARE OF
NOBLE WOMAN
Mrs. A. Austin of Pasadena Nurses
Double of Martyred President In
His Last Illness—Has Re.
markable History
Abraham Lincoln's double, a man so
like the martyr-president in face,
form and feature that he would be
taken anywhere for his brother, died
a week ago yesterday after a lingering
Illness at 456 West Walnut street,
Pasadena, and was buried with mili
tary honors the following day by the
United Order of Spanish War Veter
ans.
Without relatives or friends, the man,
while facing death from an illness
contracted In the aervlce of his coun
try, found a second mother in Mrs.
A. Austin, a woman who has braved
monetary loss and snubs from her
neighbors to ease the last moments of
an invalid. Racked with pain so that
constant injections of morphine were
necessary, and unable to speak above
a whisper, this remarkable prototype
of Lincoln told only a part of an un
usual life history during the nine
weeks he lived in Pasadena. But
enough was learned of him by his
ministering angel to make her be
lieve that his likeness to Lincoln
marked his character as well ar his
body.
Recalling 1 his thoughtfulness even
while in his greatest distress, Mrs.
Austin told this afternoon how, only
two days before his death, she found
him using his little remaining strength
In the effort to pull his gold teeth from
his mouth. Bht stopped him, but a
little Inter, at his request, furnished
him with a spoon. Coming back Into
the room, she found him doing his best
to pry the gold molars out.
Offers Woman Gold Teeth
"My dear boy," she exclaimed.
"What are you trying to do?"
■You spoke of going to a dentist,"
he said. "I know you can't afford it.
Take these gold teeth of mine and sell
them. They are worth $40, and now
they will be no more good to me."
Bhe was forced to reason with him for
over an hour before he would consent
to relinquish the effort.
Walter E. Roche was his name.
Knowing lie had been in tire Philip
pines. Ills benefactress decided he was
an officer, because during three months
just before he came to her his pension
money umounted to $150. His dis-
charge papers, however, which were
shown to Spanish War Veteran* here
weeks before he died, showed that he
enlisted twice. He went to the war
from his home in Maine at the first
call, and in '99 was mustered in as a
corporal in the Thirty-first infantry,
which was one of those regiments
made up of men whose terms had ex
pired. After that he served on shore
duty as a member of the marine
corps until sent to a sanitarium in
New Mexico. This was four years
ago. Later he went to a sanitarium
near San Bernardino.
Hears of Mrs. Austin
It was while there that he learned
by accident of the woman who after
ward tended him so carefully. Early
this year Mrs. Austin, in the kindness
of her heart, sheltered a poor girl who
would otherwise have had to die in the
itreet, being unable to find a home
anywhere. In a day all her other
roomers left her. Thinking- she might
secure some other patient* she in
serted a want advertisement in a paper
which was read in Pan Bernardino by
Walter B Roche. He wroto to her at
once and arranged to come.to Pasa
dena last March.
But on the very day he was to have
started he met disaster. A fire break
ing out druing the breakfast hour,
burned nil his possessions, including
his trunk, uniforms and clothing and
all his money. In despair he wrote
that he would have to go to the sol
diers' home until he. could repair the
loss from his pension money, and
after another three months came to
Mrs. Roche when almost ready to die.
After her experience with her neigh
bors who looked askance at her, Mrs.
Mistin thought best to send her new
patient to the new philanthropic insti
tution near the foothills which is fos
trred by wealthy Pasadenans. After
four days there he wrote, telling her
that he would die in a week if she did
rot take him under her care again. She
did so, and he lingered for weeks and
weeks, keeping up only by the remain
ing vitality of a wonderful constitution.
A Giant in Size
He was 6 feot 4 inches in height,
weighing 200 pounds when in perfect
health. Although terribly emaciated,
his likeness to Lincoln was remarkablo
to the last, his every feature corre
sponding to those of the great states
man.
Only less Interesting than her patient
is the motherly woman who sheltered
him in his extremety.
From childhood, she says, she has
nursed sick people. Her older son has
a family in Oregon. Her younger son,
Charles L. Austin, was studying to be
a doctor, when he contracted tuberculo
sis. Dropping everything, she under
took his cure. Together they went to
Coldfleld in the first excitement, and
the boy took a lease on the Combina
tion, Florence extension and other rich
properUei. Then came a plague of dis
ease, and the mother took up her duty
as sho saw it. She rented a building
mill turned it into a hospital, and the
boy worked as ii surveyor's helper to
ray the rent. Because of the hospital
he was forced to give up tlie, leases, and
the young man who took them over
made a fortUM after spending $1500.
Later, In Oregon, the mother and son
